Slip and Fall on Improperly Installed Tiles Our client, a 39-year-old female, worked at a large office building in downtown Chicago, IL. On February 4, 2015, she was entering the building when she fell on wet and slippery tile outside the entrance. She injured her knee and had an arthroscopic procedure. The tile had been recently installed as part of a renovation of the building. At the time of our client’s fall, it had recently snowed, and the tile was wet. The building’s insurance company initially denied liability, claiming the weather caused the fall and not the tile. Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers was able to locate the contractors that installed the title and the type of tile installed. The building and the contractors had chosen to install cheaper tile that was not designed for heavy pedestrian traffic outside a large office building. This brand of tile also became more slippery when wet as compared to more expensive, safer tile. Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers also discovered that many tenants of the building had complained to the building management about the slippery tile. After the litigation revealed the nature of the tile, Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers was able to obtain a settlement of $80,000.00.
